Chaos to Control: Validating Distributed, Disaggregated Digital Transformation
White Papers
“If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it.” This quote could not find better applicability than in today’s hyperconverged hybrid networks, evolving applications, and service infrastructures. Digital transformation is the essence of these rapidly evolving ecosystems and key to competitiveness for most enterprises today. Success and agility in such environments depend on the ability to measure and analyze how distributed, disaggregated network infrastructures, applications, and services perform before going live, as well as during their production life cycle.
Enterprises scarcely perform testing and validation, and usually do so before or immediately after the introduction of a network architecture, device, or service. Almost no testing occurs after the fact. This incomplete testing leaves doubts, uncertainty, and blind spots when it comes to performance and scale limits and potentially broken functionality, misconfigurations, and security gaps.
